Merchandise
It’s Raining Toshokan Sensou Goodies!
I’d have to admit, this is one sorry excuse for a Toshokan Sensou post. Then again, don’t we all love to see merchandise?! And besides, it’s always fun to showcase stuff like these, they serve as Badges of Fanaticism 
An idle mind is the devil’s playground, they say, or the otaku devil’s playground, in this case. One idle moment in the office was all it took for me to start searching for available Toshokan Sensou loot, find an online shop that sells them (hurray for Animate!), register (had to use my Chinese name because the shop is not gaijin-friendly), and with a few clicks, voila, order placed and set to be delivered to officemates who are currently in Japan for training! orz.
Lo and behold!
One officemate recently came back from Japan and kindly brought the stuff for me, so after a few weeks of waiting, the Holy Loot was finally in my hands!
I supposedly had this item cancelled in my order, but then Animate was so slow that my stuff already got delivered even before they got to reply to my cancellation request! x_X Oh well, since it’s already here, might as well delight in it, woohoo! It comes with a pack of chamomile tea pack too now all that’s left is a Doujou to complete this.
Bookmarks!! There’s no better way to keep yourself reminded of ToshoSen each time you read a book than this.
I even got fooled into buying this business card case lolz. But look, it comes with the “business cards” of the ToshoSen cast!! I get to pretend to be one of the Library Task Force members too with the blank Library Task Force “business card” that comes with this. BUt hm, no love for Genda, it seems. The poor big guy.
And finally… the cute cellphone straps/fasteners/whatever you wanna call these accessories!!! =D
and that’s it! Till the next ToshoSen loot report! On my way to the province for All Saint’s Day now… ta!

They even have cups … I repeat … they even have cups
Oh the envy….:/
i wish i live at japan and can be spoil with so many nice animes stuffs!

waaaa XDDD if i dont get it wrong, it’s from the manga called… Love and War, right???? i love it so much XDDD
i wanna to have a japanese friend too >.< super they are really awesome… me want to book mark
and the card business are really fun. i heard that need one in case if you go to Japan ^^;;;;
i need to try on the anime…
WHOA, TOSHOSEN BOOKMARKS. Now there’s quite a laugh. Support the freedom of the media by looking at kasahara everytime you read a good book.
Also, I did move, jen, not to pester ya but it’s just here: finality.dasaku.net. Thanks ^_^
Great haul!
My picks of the lot: the mug and the card case (with the fake cards of course). I love in-world stuff like this - makes it easy to pretend that I’m in the library defence forces, sipping tea and looking through my colleagues’ business cards.
@irem: friends in Japan = friends with many benefits!
And I’m a total user haha.
@issa-sa: could it be that a horde of ToshoSen fans bought them all up before you got to see them? =O It went on sale last October, not sure how long Animate had it on display though…
@blissmo: BELIEVE IT
It’s common for animes to have mugs/cups merchandise, actually, so there should be no surprise there.
@Faye: yeah, and I’m evil for showing them off
@Bunster B: don’t we all wish for that!
@BB chen: I’d like to think people in SG have a better chance of getting merchandise imported by local shops. I just spoil myself from time to time…
@lyrika: ahh yes, ToshoSen love and war! You should go watch the anime, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it =D
@C.I.: lool, don’t forget to show your Library Task Force ‘name card/ID’ too while you’re at it! Oh and will update your linkie
@Diego: totally agreed. While cosplaying will make this “role playing” experience all the more complete(?), having these mementos is more than enough for the more passive fans
Crap, went back to scrummage through the nearest Animate, and after a long time searching, FINALLY found the small shelf space holding the cellstraps (I WANTED THE MUG!!!)… And then realized I didn’t have enough cash for the day ORZ…
@issa: Glad you found the cellstraps! But, no mug you say? D: Hope you can get it in your next Animate adventure!
Ya know I was just in Akiba last month and denden town and I didn’t seen any of this stuff other than the bookmarks! That makes me sad…lol Either way, nice googdies =)
@Khal: most of these goodies were released on the 3rd week of October, IIRC, so that’s probably why D:
ah yes i’m really enjoying the manga though all the hard moment to find, i’ll try it out for sure XDDD but the colour and the characters… are really different from my viewpoint and from the manga… well i’ll enjoy … someday ^^;;;;
